HoosierPal Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Came back for a 70-64 win. Great Job Lady Bills. Now it's on to Richmond to play #2 seed Duquesne on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I changed the title of the thread because in the past SLU has asked me to discourage the usage of "Lady Billikens" to refer to the women's team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else remember a Kevin Horrigan column from years ago basically complaining that the Baby Blues weren’t dressed slutty enough? If I remember correctly he said the outfits were first communion dresses, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has bothered me since I was a kid. I remember it hitting me like "Wait a minute...There are female bears already..." I can't believe any college or HS still uses "Lady" before their nickname. It's so dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I always enjoyed James Madison going with the Dukes and Duchesses until the PC police came and ruined everything. Very WASPY of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 All the favorites/home teams won yesterday, so the bracket has the 1-8 seeds all remaining. Duquesne is solid. 23-6, 13-3 in the A10. SLU only played them once and lost 76-66 at home. They're one of the better shooting teams in the conference and defend well, too. It'll be a tough matchup. Interestingly, Duquesne also has 9 international players on the roster. Rare to see that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Pelican Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don't get the issue either but what do I know? Last night the female gendered version of the Saint Louis Billikens defeated the UMass Minutewomen. Yes, Minutewomen. The original 60 second gals. ......................................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
